Gasoline is still cheaper in Spain than in the rest of Europe

Although prices have risen in recent weeks, Spain continues to offer fuel at prices lower than the European average. Currently, the liter of gasoline costs on average 1,678 euros in the European Union and 1,595 euros in the eurozonewhile here it is below those figures. As for the dieselthe European average is at 1,707 euros per liter, and in the eurozone at 1,601 eurosfigures also higher than those recorded in our country.

This difference is mainly due to the fact that in Spain taxes on fuel and logistics costs are lower compared to other EU countries.
